Live Hummingbird Nest Cam – Oceanside, CA

Your watching a live broadcast of wild female hummingbirds nesting.

There are several Hummers that nest in this yard. Their nests are usually located bushes and no larger than the size of a golf ball. The nest is made from feathers, leaves and other parts of plant matter. She then wraps this material together with spider webs. The eggs she lays are about the size of a breath mint(tic-tac). Hummingbirds lay 1 or 2 eggs per clutch. You can expect to see them hatch after about 14-16 days from the date they are laid. The chicks will continue to grow in the nest for about three to four weeks before fledging. More information about the cams, set-up or to make a donation please visit alyssasnaturesanctuary.org.

Howdy-do BellaFam 🎄 Got up late; only had about an hour to get everything done before leaving; didn’t have time to stop in and say Hi. Got home around 2.30/MST; put away the perishables, plopped into the recliner and promptly fell asleep. Long day; had fried catfish, okra and mac/cheese; such a great time with Kitty. She was kinda like one of those wind-up dolls with a big key; she just kept talking and talking and talking 😄 Neither Chuck nor I had to contribute much other than an occasional Wow, or Oh yeah? She’ll start replaying the day in… Read more »

Hi Pam, glad to see you are safely home. In real time you got home 30 minutes before me. We got home about 4 CT. My, you really ate southern! As in Kentucky, TN, Alabama, Georgia, etc. Kitty hadn’t seen y’all in a long time, she was all geared up and cramming it in. I’m sure she was excited to see you.

Didn’t know Kitty had e-coli. Did she know the source?

It’s been about 10 days since the 2nd dr appt/2nd round of meds to clear it up; she’s still being very careful. She had b-fast food at cracker barrel today.

Hello and Merry Merry. Tis almost 5 and I’ve just had a wee supper of tuna casserole leftover from yesterday’s deli purchase from our local Co-op. Sometimes I just don’t feel like cooking🙂 My plans for tonight are to address mail and other paperwork, do a load of laundry and a few other boring tasks. I mailed Christmas cards. Hope everyone is having a good day.

Lookie who is here and earlier too! Herrrree’s Lin! Yum on the tuna casserole, I wish I had that! Sounds like you plan to be productive. I plan to be a couch potato other than feeding my and Casey’s mouth. I might muster the effort to wash dishes.

I meant to mention your tuna casserole, Lin. One of my favorites, but one I usually forget about for some reason.

I didn’t make this one. was at local Co-op looking for a certain homeopathic and passing their deli bar I saw they had the tuna casserole. I do love making it too when I have the energy. Do you add any herbs or spice to yours? i love tarragon with tuna.

I add tarragon also. One of my favorite spices. Salt, pepper, a tiny bit of garlic, and sometimes smoked paprika.

This is a late response…sorry. Still trying to catch up with messages. I had 67! Half were Likes so I just cleared those. Whew! Do you grow any herbs in your garden? I’m sad that many herbs that were perennial in other states I’ve lived are only annuals here such as Tarragon, Rosemary, I store grown herbs in mason jars and seriously – they keep their flavor for years!! I them air tight in a dark cabinet away from heat. So I still have tarragon from two years ago.

I’m back. Spent nearly 2 hours in Walmart! We just went there and back. It is 41 outside but the store was cold, I am just now starting to warm up. Everything is relative folks. I was buzzing around on a shopping scooter and there was a handicapped lady pushing a regular cart. I guess her hands are messed up more than her legs. She asked me if I could pick up some Downy fabric softener from the bottom shelf. I thought to myself this is a switch. I picked it up with ease and asked if she wanted me… Read more »

41 you say? A heat wave!!! I’m jealous…lol. Though I can share our frigid temps are easing for a few days. At 34, we are having our own heat wave! I loved your Walmart story. You were so sweet (which doesn’t surprise me at all) to help and what a lovely moment to remind you of how much your body can do. Amen to counting blessings. I can’t imagine a life without Gratitude.
